I have water coming into my basment through the walls. Mainly where the wall meets the floor. How can I take care of this problem.

If you have a sump pump there is a product that will route the water to your sump. Try this site for more info Wet Basements Made Dry - Basement De-Watering Systems Home Page (http://www.bdws.com/) This is a bit pricey at $10 per foot. You may need to look at the outside foundation and make sure the dirt is pitched away from the house and all down spouts terminate about 5 feet from the foundation.

One Word Drylocks, There Is Nothing Better. Put It On With A Thick Coarse Brush 1 To 2 Coats.
